— February 17, 2013

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "For instance, in his recent book, 'The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion,' Jonathan Haidt argues that, far from being a way of holding our moral beliefs up to critical scrutiny, moral reasoning is generally something we use merely to convince others of long-held beliefs that we are unwilling to abandon."
